SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION
1.1
SCOPE OF MANUAL
This manual contains instructions for the installation and operation of the HSP series of voltage
and current stabilized d-c power supplies manufactured by Kepco, Inc., Flushing, New York,
U.S.A.
1.2
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HSP power supply (Figure 1-1) is basically a voltage and current stabilized d-c source with
a relatively sharp crossover between voltage and current mode operation. This permits HSPs to
be used both as conventional regulated voltage sources and in applications such as battery
chargers, where automatic crossover between constant voltage and constant current operation
is required.
HSP power supplies are supplied in a single mechanical size and are nominally rated at either
1000 or 1500 watts of output power. HSP 1000 watt power supplies are designed to operate
over the universal a-c power mains voltage range of 90-277V (47-63Hz), with operation from
125-420V d-c also available. HSP 1500 watt products provide full power over the a-c mains
range of range of 180-277V a-c, and 1000W output power from 90-132V a-c; contact Kepco for
information on operation over other source voltage ranges. Active power factor correction circuitry limits source current harmonics to negligible levels, significantly improving source power
utilization. Cooling is provided via an internal d-c fan.
The HSP permits adjustment of both output voltage (VO) and current limit (IMAX), either by internal (front panel pot) or external (resistance or voltage) methods; programming method is
selected via DIP switches accessed through the top of the unit. Independent circuitry provides
protection against overvoltage, overcurrent and overtemperature failures; fault detection circuitry monitors performance of the output and critical internal functions, providing both visual
and electrical indicators. A switch-selectable “current walk-in” circuit and optional float/equalize
functions enhance the performance of HSP power supplies for such applications as battery
chargers.
The HSP power supply is specifically designed for both fixed installation operation and, when
used in conjunction with Kepco RA 60 or similar plug-in rack adapters, as a hot replaceable
module in a redundant power system. Forced current sharing and optional internal or external
output blocking diodes enhance power system reliability. Mechanical keying eliminates the risk
of incorrect module insertion. Tool-operated latches on the front panel provide positive security
against casual removal of an operating module.

MISCELLANEOUS FEATURES
1.4.1
CONTROL/PROGRAMMING
1.4.2
a)
VOLTAGE CHANNEL: Output voltage is controlled continuously throughout the specified
adjustment range via a 10-turn potentiometer mounted behind the front panel. External
control can be exercised either by resistance or by control voltage (see PAR’s. 3.3 and
3.4).
b)
CURRENT CHANNEL: Output current is controlled continuously throughout the specified
adjustment range via a 10-turn potentiometer mounted behind the front panel. External
control can be exercised by control voltage (see PAR’s. 3.5 and 3.6).
c)
OVERVOLTAGE LEVEL: The output voltage level at which the overvoltage protection
latch is activated may be adjusted locally via a 10-turn potentiometer accessed through the
top cover (see PAR. 3.8).
d)
REMOTE INHIBIT: Operation of the output regulator can be inhibited remotely via either
one of two TTL-level control lines, RC1 and RC2. Both of these signals are isolated from
both the input and output, allowing single-point control of several power supplies operating
at different potentials. Both positive and negative logic are supported (see PAR. 3.12).
STATUS INDICATORS/FLAGS
a)
b)
STATUS INDICATORS: Four LED indicators at the front panel provide the following operational information (see PAR. 3.14):
•
POWER: Green; lit when source voltage is above minimum required to support rated
load.
•
DCFAIL: Red; lit when output voltage is beyond regulation limits or when load current is
below minimum load sharing requirement.
•
OVERTEMP: Amber; lit when internal overtemperature protection is activated.
•
FANFAIL: Red; lit when internal cooling fan failure is detected.
STATUS FLAGS: Four sets of Form C dry relay contacts (3 wires each) are provided at the
I/O connector which duplicate the front panel status indicator functions (see PAR. 3.14).
1.4.3
SETPOINT MONITORS: Analog voltage signals which display programmed output voltage and
current limit values. These signals are available both at the front panel test points (VO and IMAX)
and at the I/O connector (VSET and ISET). Signals are referenced to negative error sense (see
PAR. 3.7).
1.4.4
REMOTE ERROR SENSING: Separate voltage sensing connections permit 4-wire connection
to load. Will compensate for static load effects due to power lead d-c resistance (DCR) up to
specified maximum voltage drop per load lead at maximum specified output voltage (see PAR.
3.2).
1.4.5
LOAD SHARING: Bidirectional control port provides forced load sharing between two or more
HSP (or HSM) series power supplies wired in parallel (see PAR. 2.7.6).
HSPSERIES OPR 113012
1-5
1.4.6
LOAD MONITOR: Analog voltage signal which indicates actual load current delivered by the
HSP power supply (see PAR. 3.13).
1.4.7
AUXILIARY SUPPLY: Logic-level secondary output provides up to 0.5 watts of power at 5V
d-c. This output is isolated from the output and is unaffected by the status of the main output.
Provides power for external Remote Inhibit controls (see PAR. 3.11).
1.4.8
OVERCURRENT/UNDERVOLTAGE PROTECTION: Switch-selectable option provides the
user load protection against long-term output overloads or undervoltage conditions (see PAR.
3.9).
1.4.9
CURRENT WALK-IN: Switch-selectable option provides control of output current rise rate
based on Bellcore TR-TSY-000947 requirements for battery chargers (see PAR. 3.10).
1.4.10
REMOTE RESET: Switch-selectable option provides capability to reset the latch used by the
overvoltage protection circuitry to disable the output regulator, using the Remote Inhibit control
lines (see PAR. 3.12).
1.5
OPTIONS
HSP options are described below; more than one option may be incorporated into any HSP

SOURCE POWER REQUIREMENTS
This power supply will operate with the installed circuit breaker from single phase a-c mains
power over the specified voltage and frequency ranges without adjustment or modification.
Operation from d-c power is also available; please contact factory for limitations imposed when
using d-c source power.
2.4
COOLING
The power devices used within the HSP power supply are maintained within their operating temperature range by means of internal heat sink assemblies cooled by an internal cooling fan. The
cooling method utilizes pressurization rather than evacuation, resulting in greater cooling efficiency and reduced contaminant collection within the enclosure. ALL INLET AND EXHAUST
OPENINGS AROUND THE POWER SUPPLY CASE MUST BE KEPT CLEAR OF OBSTRUCTION TO ENSURE PROPER AIR ENTRY AND EXHAUST. Periodic cleaning of the power supply interior is recommended. If the power supply is rack mounted, or installed within a confined
space, care must be taken that the ambient temperature, which is the temperature of the air
immediately surrounding the power supply, does not rise above the specified limits for the operating load conditions (see PAR. 1.3 and Figure 1-2).
2.5
PRELIMINARY OPERATIONAL CHECK
A simple operational check after unpacking and before equipment installation is advisable to
ascertain whether the power supply has suffered damage resulting from shipping. Refer to Figures 2-1, 2-2 and 2-3 for location of operating controls and electrical connections.
1. THE POWER SUPPLY WILL NOT OPERATE UNLESS THE REMOTE SENSE LINES ARE
PROPERLY CONNECTED TO THE OUTPUT TERMINALS! Connect the remote sense terminals to the output bus bars using the mating I/O Connector (Kepco P/N 142-0422) or other
means as shown in PAR. 2.7.5.1 and Figure 2-4.
2. Connect the power supply to source power as defined in PAR. 1.3. Connection can be made
using either the North American linecord set (Kepco P/N 118-0776) or using a custom linecord terminated at one end with an IEC 320/C19 plug (Kepco P/N 142-0381). Follow all
requirements of local electric code regarding wire size, termination, etc.
3. Connect a static load, R, across output terminals. The load value is determined by the nominal output voltage of the HSP power supply and must be capable of handling 2% of the
power supply output rating (minimum power capability of 20 watts). R is calculated as
approximately equal to output voltage2/20 (R = E2/P). For example, for the HSP 48-21, R =
482/20 = 115.2; use load of 120 ohms, 20 watts.
CAUTION: DO NOT repeatedly toggle the circuit breaker/switch as this may damage the
unit.
4. Set Power ON/OFF circuit breaker/switch on front panel to ON. If actuator does not lock
when released, wait a few seconds before trying again. The circuit breaker is “trip-free”
design; if overload exists, contacts cannot be held closed by actuator. Verify that the
“POWER” indicator LED on the front panel is lit, and that all other indicator lamps on the front
panel are not lit.
5. Using a DVM, measure the voltage across the output bus bars; this voltage is factory set to
the value shown in Table 1-1. If necessary, adjust the output voltage using the trim pot
labeled “VO” accessed through the front panel.
6. Using the DVM, measure the voltage across the front panel test points “VO” and “COM”; this
voltage should read 1/10 of the output voltage measured in step 5 above, ±1%.
HSPSERIES OPR 113012
2-3
7. Using the DVM, measure the voltage across the front panel test points “IMAX” and “COM”;
this voltage is factory adjusted to 10.0V, and corresponds to 100% of maximum current (see
PAR. 3.7). If necessary, readjust to 10.0V using the trim pot labeled “IMAX” accessed through
the front panel; if desired, readjust for lower current limit (see PAR. 3.7).
8. Verify that front panel indicators still appear as in step 4 above.
9. Disconnect sense lines with power supply still operating, either by removing the mating I/O
connector or by manually opening the sense line connected to Pin 37; verify that the power
supply output turns off, and that the “DCFAIL” indicator LED on the front panel is now lit,
along with the “POWER” indicator LED. (NOTE: At no load the output voltage will drop
slowly.) Turn the front panel circuit breaker off and wait until the “DCFAIL” indicator LED
blinks. Reconnect the sense lines, then turn the circuit breaker back on; verify that the output
voltage returns to the value measured in step 5 above, and that the indicator LEDs appear
as in step 4 above.
10.Turn off front panel circuit breaker and remove source power connection.
2.6
INSTALLATION (REFER TO FIGURE 1-4, OUTLINE DRAWING)
The HSP power supply may be operated as a fixed rack-mounted unit, or as a plug-in modular
instrument as follows:
•
When used as a fixed, rack-mounted unit, attach the HSP power supply to the mounting
surface using the four holes in the bottom of the chassis surrounded by plastic grommets.
•
When used as part of a plug-in power system, refer to the Instruction Manual accompanying the applicable Kepco rack adapter for installation directions.
For all installations, provide adequate clearance around air inlet and exhaust locations and
ensure that the temperature immediately surrounding the unit and especially near the air inlets
does not exceed the maximum specified ambient temperature for the operating conditions.
2.7
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
Interconnections between an a-c power source and a stabilized power supply, and between the
power supply and its load are as critical as the interface between other types of electronic equipment. If optimum performance is expected, certain rules for the interconnection of source,
power supply and load must be observed by the user. These rules are described in detail in the
following paragraphs.
2.7.1
SAFETY GROUNDING
Local, national and international safety rules dictate the grounding of the metal cover and case
of any instrument connected to the a-c power source, when such grounding is an intrinsic part of
the safety aspect of the instrument. The ground terminal of the source power connector (see
Figure 2-2) is connected to the HSP chassis and the instructions below suggest wiring methods
which comply with these safety requirements; however, it is the customer's responsibility to
ensure that all applicable electric codes for safety grounding requirements are met.
WARNING
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE USER PROVIDE ALL THREE SOURCE WIRE CONNECTIONS, AS THIS CONNECTION IS THE SAFETY GROUND PROVISION!
2-4
HSPSERIES OPR 113012
2.7.2
SOURCE POWER CONNECTIONS
The rear panel of the HSP power supply is equipped with an IEC 320 style recessed power inlet
connector which provides interface to a 3-wire safety line cord via a polarized mating plug.
Kepco offers as accessories (see Table 1-3) both a user-wired mating connector and a prewired
linecord set, the latter configured for North American applications. Terminal assignment follows
internationally accepted conventions (see Figure 2-3). It is the user's responsibility to ensure
that all applicable local codes for source power wiring are met.
The user-wired mating connector requires size #14 AWG (minimum) conductors for all three
connections. When HSP power supplies are installed in a plug-in rack adapter (RA 60 or similar), consult the rack adapter Instruction Manual for source connection information.
Depending on your application, source branch current rating may be significantly less than the
rating of the HSP circuit breaker, especially in configurations where HSP are used in parallel/
redundant applications. The HSP circuit breaker rating is based on worst-case operating conditions. However, since HSP power supplies are switch-mode power supplies, the source power
drain is constant and essentially independent of source voltage, regardless of load power
requirements. Therefore under normal, rather than worst case, conditions, HSP draw substantially less than the rated maximum input current, particularly at higher source voltages. Contact
Kepco Applications Engineering for additional information.
2.7.3
D-C OUTPUT GROUNDING
Connections between the power supply and the load and sensing connections may, despite all
precautions such as shielding, twisting of wire pairs, etc., be influenced by radiated noise, or
“pick-up”. To minimize the effects of this radiated noise the user should consider grounding one
side of the power supply/load circuit. The success of d-c grounding requires careful analysis of
each specific application, however, and this recommendation can only serve as a general guideline.
One of the most important considerations in establishing a successful grounding scheme is to
avoid GROUND LOOPS. Ground loops are created when two or more points are grounded at
different physical locations along the output circuit. Due to the interconnection impedance
between the separated grounding points, a difference voltage and resultant current flow is
superimposed on the load. The effect of this ground loop can be anything from an undesirable
increase in output noise to disruption of power supply and/or load operation. The only way to
avoid ground loops is to ensure that the entire output/load circuit is fully isolated from ground,
and only then establish a single point along the output/load circuit as the single-wire ground
point.
The exact location of the “best” d-c ground point is entirely dependent upon the specific application, and its selection requires a combination of analysis, good judgement and some amount of
empirical testing. If there is a choice in selecting either the positive or negative output of the
power supply for the d-c ground point, both sides should be tried, and preference given to the
ground point producing the least noise. For single, isolated loads the d-c ground point is often
best located directly at one of the output terminals of the power supply; when remote error sensing is employed, d-c ground may be established at the point of sense lead attachment. In the
specific case of an internally-grounded load, the d-c ground point is automatically established at
the load.
The output terminals of HSP power supplies are d-c isolated (“floating”) from the chassis in
order to permit the user maximum flexibility in selecting the best single point ground location.
Output ripple specifications as measured at the output are equally valid for either side grounded.
HSPSERIES OPR 113012
2-5
Care must be taken in measuring the ripple and noise at the power supply: measuring devices
which are a-c line operated can often introduce additional ripple and noise into the circuit.
There is, unfortunately, no “best” method for interconnecting the load and power supply. Individual applications, location and nature of the load require careful analysis in each case. Grounding a single point in the output circuit can be of great importance. It is hoped that the preceding
paragraphs will be of some assistance in most cases. For help in special applications or difficult
problems, consult directly with Kepco's Application Engineering Department.
2.7.4
POWER SUPPLY/LOAD INTERFACE
The general function of a voltage- or current-stabilized power supply is to deliver the rated output quantities to the connected load. The load may have any conceivable characteristic: it may
be fixed or variable, it may have predominantly resistive, capacitive or inductive parameters; it
may be located very close to the power supply output terminals or it may be a considerable distance away. The perfect interface between a power supply and its load would mean that the
specified performance at the output terminals would be transferred without impairment to any
load, regardless of electrical characteristics or proximity to each other.
The stabilized d-c power supply is definitely not an ideal voltage or current source, and practical
interfaces definitely fall short of the ideal. All voltage-stabilized power supplies have a finite
source impedance which increases with frequency, and all current-stabilized power supplies
have a finite shunt impedance which decreases with frequency. The method of interface
between the power supply output and the load must, therefore, take into account not only size
with regard to minimum voltage drop, but configuration with regard to minimizing the impedance
introduced by practical interconnection techniques (wire, bus bars, etc.). The series inductance
of the load wire must be as small as possible as compared to the source inductance of the
power supply: error sensing cannot compensate for reactive effects due to this. These dynamic
conditions are especially important if the load is constantly modulated or step-programmed, or
has primarily reactive characteristics, or where the dynamic output response of the power supply is critical to load performance.
2.7.5
LOAD CONNECTION - GENERAL
Load connections to the HSP power supply are achieved via the bus bars protruding from the
rear panel. The bus bars are each provided with two holes, one 0.34" diameter clearance hole
(for 5/16" UNC threaded fastener) and one #10-32 threaded hole (see Figure 1-4). The threaded
hole is provided for attachment of error sensing leads from the signal connector when local
sense with benchtop operation is desired. Do not connect sense lines using these holes when
using the HSP Power Supply with plug-in rack adapters; instead connect ± sense lines to ± output studs on rack adapter, observing proper polarities: plus to plus, minus to minus.
Load cable or bus bar attachment should use the clearance hole, using a 5/16" UNC nut, bolt
and lockwasher. The use of the proper fastener size and inclusion of a lockwasher are critical to
maintaining intimate contact between the load conductor and output bus bar; Kepco recommends the use of fasteners made of conductive material (brass, phosphor bronze, etc.) to
enhance conductivity; for high current loads (>100A) Kepco recommends the use of Bellvillestyle constant tension washers in place of conventional lockwashers.
NOTE
REGARDLESS OF OUTPUT CONFIGURATION, OUTPUT SENSE LINES MUST
BE CONNECTED FOR OPERATION. OBSERVE POLARITIES: THE NEGATIVE
SENSING WIRE MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE NEGATIVE LOAD WIRE, AND
THE POSITIVE SENSING WIRE TO THE POSITIVE LOAD WIRE.
2-6
HSPSERIES OPR 113012
2.7.5.1
LOAD CONNECTION - METHOD I (LOCAL ERROR SENSING)
The most basic power supply/load interface is a 2-wire connection between the power supply
output terminals and the load. This connection method employs local error sensing which consists of connecting the error sense leads directly to the power supply's output terminals. Its main
virtue is simplicity: since voltage regulation is maintained at the power supply output, the regulation loop is essentially unaffected by the impedances presented by the load interconnection
scheme. The main disadvantage is that it cannot compensate for losses introduced by the interconnection scheme and, therefore, regulation degrades directly as a function of distance and
load current. The main applications for this method are for powering primarily resistive and relatively constant loads located close to the power supply, or for loads requiring stabilized current
exclusively. The load leads should be tightly twisted to reduce pick-up. See Figure 2-4.
FIGURE 2-4.

LOAD CONNECTION - METHOD I (LOCAL ERROR SENSING)
2-7
2.7.5.2
LOAD CONNECTION - METHOD II (REMOTE ERROR SENSING)
If the load is located at a distance from the power supply terminals, or if reactive and/or modulated loads are present, remote error sensing should be used to minimize their effect on the voltage stabilization. A twisted shielded pair of wires from the sensing terminals directly to the load
will compensate for voltage drops in the load interconnection scheme (see Specifications for
available headroom based on model); the termination point of the error sensing leads should be
at or as close as practical to the load. For these conditions it is also recommended that some
amount of local decoupling capacitance be placed at the error sense termination point to minimize the risk of unwanted pick-up affecting the remote error sense function. See Figure 2-5.
FIGURE 2-5.
2-8
LOAD CONNECTION - METHOD II (REMOTE ERROR SENSING)
HSPSERIES OPR 113012
2.7.5.3
LOAD CONNECTION - METHOD III (SERIES CONNECTION)
Units may be connected in series to obtain higher output voltages. Each power supply in the
series should be protected by a clamping diode connected in its non-conducting direction in parallel with the output; this diode protects the power supply outputs against secondary effects in
the event of a load short. (Note that this is NOT the same as the blocking diode used for parallel/
redundant operation.) Selection of the clamping diode is entirely dependent upon output voltage/current parameters. The clamping diode must be rated for the maximum voltage and current of the series connection. Several clamping diodes in parallel may be required to meet the
total current rating.
The user must also respect the ±500V d-c maximum isolation from output to chassis when
determining the maximum series voltage. Figure 2-6 shows a series connection of two HSP
power supplies.

2.7.5.4
LOAD CONNECTION - METHOD IV (PARALLEL OPERATION)
Identical HSP power supply models may be connected in parallel in order to provided increased
output current to a common load (see Figure 2-7). This permits the user to obtain significantly
higher load ratings than for a single HSP power supply. The number of power supplies required
is determined by dividing the required load current by the current rating of the applicable HSP
model, and rounding up to the next whole number when necessary. HSP power supplies incorporate fault detection circuitry which precludes the need for output blocking diodes, and utilize
active current sharing circuitry to distribute the load current equally among the paralleled units.
When operating HSP power supplies in any parallel configuration, load sharing must be implemented among the paralleled modules; this is required for proper operation of the fault detector
(see PAR. 2.7.6). Figure 2-7 shows a typical parallel configuration using two power supplies;
additional parallel modules are added by scaling Figure 2-7.
.
FIGURE 2-7.
LOAD CONNECTION - METHOD IV (PARALLEL/REDUNDANT OPERATION WITH HOT-SWAP)
2.7.5.4.1 REDUNDANCY AND HOT SWAP APPLICATIONS
HSP is specifically designed for use in critical applications where power supply redundancy and
on-line replacement of defective power supplies (hot-swapping) is required. Redundant operation is achieved by paralleling one or more power supplies in excess of the minimum number
required to support the load so that system operation is not compromised by the failure of a single power supply. Any number of HSP power supplies (N+M) can be wired for redundant operation as long as (N) power supplies can support the load, M representing the total number of
failed power supplies.
2-10
HSPSERIES OPR 113012
When operating power supplies in hot-swap applications, the use of an output blocking diode is
mandatory to prevent excessive output transients and power connector damage due to arcing at
the output terminals. In applications where redundancy is required but hot-swapping is not, the
blocking diode is beneficial in that it adds a layer of isolation between each power supply output
and the common d-c bus, protecting the bus against the possibility of a short at the power supply output. All HSP power supply models are available with this blocking diode internally
mounted (“R” suffix option). External mounting of the blocking diode is not recommended,
because physical stresses exerted by the load cables or bus bars and improper heat dissipation
will result in premature and undetected failure of the diode.
2.7.6
LOAD SHARING
When operating two or more power supplies in parallel, either for capacity or redundancy, it is
desirable to distribute the load equally among all of the power supplies in order to improve performance, reduce stress and increase reliability. HSP power supplies incorporate active circuitry
which forces multiple power supplies wired in parallel to share load current, both in voltage- and
current-mode regulation. The HSP employs a single wire connection between paralleled power
supplies, forming a master-slave relationship as follows: the highest voltage unit becomes the
master, and all of the remaining units are slaved to it via the load share signal (ISHARE), which
boosts the slave outputs in order to increase load share. A maximum boost limit of 5% prevents
the slave units from following a defective master into an overvoltage condition, or from creating
a load hazard if either the slave itself or the load sharing system is defective.
When implementing load sharing, the user must ensure that all power supplies are attempting to
regulate to the same voltage at the same location, and must minimize the possibility of load
share signal corruption; the power supplies should, as nearly as possible, emulate a single large
power supply. To this end, the following rules apply:
a. If possible, remote error sensing should be employed, with all error sensing connections terminated at the same physical point, and as close to the power supplies as possible; if local
error sensing is required, power lead voltage drops must be minimized. Provide local noise
decoupling capacitors across all sense wire termination points.
b. The power supplies should be located as near to each other as possible, with power terminations bussed together using adequately sized interconnections; the power supply/load interconnections should be distributed evenly along the power supply output interconnection busses. This is especially important in high-current systems employing several power supply
modules in parallel, where voltage drops in the interface connections can be significant in
comparison to the load share signal voltage and introduce both d-c and a-c errors.
c. All power supply output voltages should be adjusted as closely as possible, and in any case
within a 2% error band. Additionally, the current limit setpoints should be identical and high
enough to support the load requirements; for (N+M) systems, this means setting the current
limits high enough to tolerate loss of M power supplies and still support the load.
d. Minimize the load share signal wire interconnection lengths to reduce risk of noise influence.

2.7.7
SIGNAL CONNECTIONS
The I/O Signal Connector, located on the rear panel of the HSP power supply (see Figure 2-3),
provides access for all programming inputs and status signal outputs. These signals provide the
user access to portions of the regulation control circuitry of the HSP and, as such, must be protected from radiated and conducted noise as well as from physical contact with non-valid driving
sources. The following subsections address specific programming signal applications; in general, however, when accessing this connector from distant locations or high-noise environments, it is recommended that a shielded cable be used, with the shield terminated to the
system's single point ground.
a. Remote Error Sense
Twist positive and negative error sensing lines (pins 37,19) together, especially when a significant distance separates the power supply and load.
b. External Voltage Programming (Voltage or Current)
Twist the programming signal line(s) (pins 18, 15, or both 18 and 15) with negative error
sensing line (pin 19); use shielded cable if possible.
c. External Resistance Programming (Voltage)
Twist both programming lines (pins 17, 35) together; use shielded cable if possible.
d. Remote Inhibit Controls (RC1, RC2)
Twist either (or both) programming lines (pins 7,8) together with AUXRTN (pin 25); if 5VAUX
is used to power the external inhibit control circuitry, include 5VAUX line (pin 26) in twist.

When used with Kepco plug-in rack adapters (RA 60 and similar), HSP power supplies can
be configured for extraction from and insertion to an active system, or “hot-swap”. Hotswapping requires the use of series blocking diodes for each output (see Figure 2-7). The
HSP incorporates a mechanical keying system to be used in conjunction with the plug-in
rack adapters to prevent installation of any but the correct model HSP in a given position.
The keying mechanism is comprised of (7) holes, each corresponding to an HSP model; all
holes are plugged except for the “keyway,” thus providing the keying function in conjunction
with a pin installed in each rack adapter position. All HSP power supplies are keyed by voltage at the factory. It is essential that the user: 1) not remove or alter the keyway plugs,
and 2) replace any plugs which are inadvertently removed in accordance with the
view shown in Figure 2-3. To change module keying, see instructions accompanying the
HSP series plug-in rack adapters.
2.9
RETAINING LATCHES
HSP series power supplies are provided with (2) retention latches located at each side of the
bottom edge of the front panel (see Figure 2-1). These latches work in conjunction with the HSP
series plug-in rack adapters to prevent unauthorized or inadvertent module extraction from an
operating power system. The latch is engaged by loosening the cap-head screw approximately
1/2 turn CCW (use 5/32" hex key) and sliding the latch down to the bottom of the slot, then
retightening the cap-head screw CW until snug. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! To release, follow
the same procedure, except lift the latch to the top of the slot. Be sure to move the latch completely up or down to ensure full engagement and disengagement of the latching mechanism.
When the HSP power supply is not installed in its plug-in rack adapter, it is recommended that
the latch be secured in the open (up) position to prevent damage.
NOTE: Retaining latches must not be used to secure the HSP power supply in the rack
adapter for shipping purposes.

SECTION 3 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3.1
OPERATING CONFIGURATION
The following subsections review the various features and indicate how to select and operate
each function. The default settings for each function indicate the as-shipped status for standard
HSP series power supplies. Prior to applying source power, the operating configuration of the
HSP power supply must be selected. This setup is performed via the multiposition configuration
switches S1, S2 and S3 which are accessed via slots in the top cover (see Figure 2-2), while the
external control signals (programming input and status output) are accessed via the I/O Connector on the rear panel of the HSP power supply (see Figure 2-3).
HSP series power supplies incorporate several advanced features which expand their applicability beyond that of simple voltage stabilizers. These functions include both internal and external programming of voltage and current regulation points, remote error sensing, active load
sharing circuitry, output overvoltage and undervoltage protection, output current “walk-in,” in-circuit voltage and current setpoint monitors, and dual-mode floating inhibit controls, as well as
Form-C relay contact outputs indicating source, output and fan status, and overtemperature
shutdown.
3.2
REMOTE ERROR SENSE
All HSP power supplies are equipped with remote error sensing to compensate for the voltage
drop inherent in any power supply/load interconnection scheme. The amount of compensation
varies based on output voltage: 3.3V and 5V models compensate up to 0.25V drop in each
power lead (0.5V total), while 12V through 48V models provide for up to 0.8V drop in each lead
(1.6V total). The remote error sense leads must be connected to the output power terminations, either locally at the power supply output terminals or remotely at the load terminations, using the correct polarity, for the HSP to operate properly. (See Figures 2-4
through 2-7.)
3.3
OUTPUT VOLTAGE PROGRAMMING
HSP power supplies provide three different methods for programming the output voltage regulation point: internal, external resistance and external voltage. When using either internal or external resistance programming, the minimum programmable voltage is 50-60% of nominal, while
external voltage programming permits adjustment down to zero. Performance specifications are
only guaranteed over the range shown in Table 1-1. The programming method is selected via
S2 switch positions 3, 4 and 5 as follows:
NOTE: One programming mode must be selected, or the HSP output voltage programs to
zero; never select more than one programming mode at a time.
a)
Internal Programming: This is the factory-set (default) mode (see Figure 2-2); when
enabled via S2-5, the output voltage is adjusted via the front panel potentiometer labeled
“VO” (see Figure 2-1).
b)
External Resistance Programming: When enabled via S2-4, this mode provides for output voltage adjustment via an external resistance or potentiometer (0-50Kohm) connected
between pins 17 and 35 (VRP1, VRP2) of the I/O connector (see Figure 3-1). This technique is useful for applications where the voltage output of the power supply must be
locked to a preset value without means of adjustment (security), or where the voltage output of the power supply must be remotely adjusted after installation (convenience).
HSPSERIES OPR 113012

c
External Voltage Programming: When enabled via S2-3, this mode provides for output
voltage adjustment via an external voltage source (0-10V) connected between pins 18 and
19 (VPROG, -S) of the I/O connector (see Figure 3-2). This technique is useful when implementing digital control of the power supply output voltage via a D/A converter; Kepco's SN/
SNR 488 programmers are ideally suited to these requirements
FIGURE 3-1.
FIGURE 3-2.
3.4
EXTERNAL RESISTANCE PROGRAMMING OF OUTPUT VOLTAGE
EXTERNAL VOLTAGE PROGRAMMING OF OUTPUT VOLTAGE
OUTPUT VOLTAGE RANGE
The user may select the maximum programmable voltage, either high or low range, via S2
switch positions 1 and 2 (see Figure 2-2). This permits the user to trade adjustment range for
programming resolution; this is especially useful when used in conjunction with external voltage
programming (see PAR. 3.3) for precise output adjustment (±0.2%), or for limiting the maximum
programmable voltage. Operation of range selector is as follows:
a)
High Range: This is the factory-set (default) mode; the maximum programmable output
voltage is 110% of nominal VO for 3.3V through 28V models, 125% of nominal VO for 48V
model.
b)
Low Range: When enabled via S2-1,2 the maximum programmable output voltage is
equal to the nominal output voltage VO for all models; since the programming resistance
and voltage ranges do not change, the resolution for a given programming input increment
increases by 10% for 3.3V through 28V models, and by 25% for 48V model.
NOTE: When setting the programming range, both S2-1 and S2-2 must be set to the same
position; otherwise, the fault detector voltage window will be offset from the programming value and will not operate properly.
3.5
CURRENT LIMIT PROGRAMMING
HSP power supplies provide two different methods for programming the output current limit
point: internal and external voltage. When using internal programming, the minimum programmable current limit is 50-60% of nominal, while external voltage programming permits adjust-
3-2
HSPSERIES OPR 113012
ment down to near zero. The programming method is selected via S3 switch positions 2 and 3
as follows:
NOTE: One programming mode must be selected, or the HSP current limit programs to zero;
never select more than one programming mode at a time.
a)
Internal Programming: This is the factory-set (default) mode (see Figure 2-2); when
enabled via S3-3, the current limit is adjusted via the front panel potentiometer labeled
“IMAX” (see Figure 2-1).
b)
External Voltage Programming: When enabled via S3-2, this mode provides for current
limit adjustment via an external voltage source (0-10V) connected between pins 15 and
19 (IPROG, -S) of the I/O connector (see Figure 3-3). This technique is useful when
implementing digital control of the power supply current limit via a D/A converter; Kepco's
SN/SNR 488 programmers are ideally suited to these requirements.
FIGURE 3-3.
3.6
EXTERNAL VOLTAGE PROGRAMMING OF CURRENT LIMIT
CURRENT LIMIT PROGRAMMING RANGE
The user may select the maximum programmable current limit, either high or low range, via S3
switch position 1 (see Figure 2-2). This permits the user to trade adjustment range for programming resolution; this is especially useful when used in conjunction with external voltage programming (see PAR. 3.5) for precise limit adjustment, or for limiting the maximum
programmable current limit. Operation of the range selector is as follows:
3.7
a)
High Range: This is the factory-set (default) mode; the maximum programmable current
limit is 110% of rated IO for all models.
b)
Low Range: When enabled via S3-1, the maximum programmable current limit is equal to
the rated output current IO for all models; since the programming voltage range does not
change, the resolution for a given programming input increment increases by 10%.
SETPOINT MONITORS
HSP power supplies provide measurement ports which permit the user to verify the programmed output voltage and current limit points while the power supply is in an active circuit,
and even when operated in a parallel/redundant configuration. These setpoint monitors access
the voltage and current loop reference sources to determine the programmed values, and convert these reference levels to proportional voltages readable by the user. As the quantities measured are control circuit setpoints and not actual output measurements, the external operating
conditions do not influence these measurements and they remain valid even when the power
supply output is disabled; only valid source power is required.
The setpoints are available at two locations on the power supply. The first is via test probe jacks
on the front panel of the HSP, directly adjacent to their corresponding internal adjustment con-
HSPSERIES OPR 113012
3-3
trols (see Figure 2-1); the jacks are labeled VO and IMAX, with a third test point labeled COM
providing access to the circuit return. The second location is the I/O connector: here, the test
points are labeled VSET and ISET, and are available at pins 36 and 33, respectively, with circuit
return accessed at pin 19 (-S) (see Figure 2-3).
Measurement quantities are defined as follows:
VO, VSET: This voltage represents 1/10 of the programmed output voltage. As an example,
VSET (or VO) = 4.63V corresponds to a programmed output voltage of 46.3V ±1%.
This relationship is constant, regardless of the programming range selected (see
PAR. 3.4).
IMAX, ISET: This voltage represents the percentage of available power supply current as a percentage of rated current, with 10V corresponding to 100%; available current is
defined as the maximum current limit available based on the programming range
(see PAR. 3.6). Unlike VSET, ISET is always based on a 0-10V scale, regardless of
the range selected. For example, ISET (or IMAX) = 6.2V corresponds to 62% of the
maximum programmable current; for the low programming range, this corresponds
to 62% of the rated module current, but for the high programming range the number is 62% of 110%, or 68.2% of rated module current. If the module is HSP 5-200,
for example, the programmed current limit is either 124A or 136.4A, depending on
the range selection. Current setpoint monitor accuracy is ±5%.
3.8
OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION ADJUSTMENT
HSP power supplies incorporate output overvoltage protection (OVP) circuitry which latches
the output regulator off in the event that the output voltage rises above a predetermined level.
Reset requires that the user remove source power for a minimum of 30 seconds (optional
remote reset is described in PAR. 3.12). The trip level is preset at the factory for 130% of the
nominal output voltage (see Table 1-1), however, this level can be adjusted from 100% to
140% of the nominal output (except Model HSP 48-21, which can be adjusted from 100% to
160% of the nominal output) via the OVP ADJUST control accessed through the top cover
(see Figure 2-2). To set the trip level to a new value, perform the following steps:
NOTE: For 48V Models only, do not set OVP trip level above 63V.
1. Disconnect any external load circuitry which may be damaged by excessive voltage; a minimum load of 5W is recommended (see PAR. 2.5, step 3).
2. With source power removed, connect load as shown in Figure 2-4 for local sensing, except
remove connection between I/O connector pin 37 (+S) and the output bus bar and substitute
a 20K ohm potentiometer between pin 37 and the output bus bar; adjust the pot for minimum
resistance.
3. Rotate OVP ADJUST control on HSP fully clockwise.
4. Apply source power; while monitoring voltage at output terminals (bus bars), increase external pot resistance until the output voltage is set for the desired overvoltage protection value.
5. Slowly rotate the OVP ADJUST pot counterclockwise until the output is latched off (voltage
drops rapidly toward zero); the overvoltage trip level is now adjusted to the desired overvoltage protection value (step 4, above).
6. Remove source power for at least 30 seconds, or until the front panel indicator LEDs begin
to blink; reduce the external pot resistance slightly, and reapply source power.
7. While monitoring the output voltage, slowly increase the pot resistance until the output shuts
down, and verify trip set point; if necessary, repeat steps 3 through 6 above.
3-4
HSPSERIES OPR 113012
The signal generated by the OVP detector is gated with a signal from the fault detector circuit to
produce a selective overvoltage shutdown function which prevents shutdown of operational
power supplies in a parallel-redundant power system configuration. The OVP latches of any
working power supplies are disabled, allowing only the faulty modules to be latched off; system
operation can then return to normal, assuming sufficient load capacity in the remaining modules
to support the load. This function is critical in fault-tolerant power systems, otherwise a single
overvoltage failure could ripple through all of the operating supplies and result in a complete
power system loss.
NOTE: The overvoltage protection circuit senses the voltage directly at the output terminals
of the power supply, not at the error sensing point. When selecting an overvoltage set
point, the user must take into account the expected power lead voltage drop and, if
applicable, the transient response overshoot in order to avoid false shutdowns. The
HSP design is such that the power supply cannot generate an output voltage high
enough to cause internal damage, regardless of OVP setting.
3.9
CURRENT LIMIT CHARACTERISTIC
HSP power supplies provide two different current limiting modes for different applications; selection of the desired mode is accomplished via switch S1-3, accessed through the top cover of the
HSP (see Figure 2-2). The following describes the operational differences and selection method
of each:
a)
Continuous Limiting: This is the factory-set (default) mode of operation. When the output
current of the power supply reaches the programmed current limit, the output regulator
switches to current mode operation and maintains the output current by modulating the
output voltage; this operating mode is maintained indefinitely, and recovery to voltage regulation mode is automatic upon reduction of the output current below the current limit point.
This mode is ideal for high-power battery chargers and applications where operation in current regulation mode is normal, or where immediate recovery from an overload condition of
any duration is critical.
NOTE: HSP power supplies are designed to maintain continuous delivery of 110% of rated
current indefinitely. When operating parallel/redundant power supply configurations in
continuous limiting mode, the user must size the power supply/load interconnection
conductors to withstand the total maximum load current available from all of the paralleled power supply modules.
b)
Undervoltage Lockout: This mode is enabled when S1-3 is set to ON (Figure 2-2). The
crossover from voltage- to current-mode operation is the same as for Continuous Limiting;
however, after approximately 15 seconds, the output load regulation circuit is locked off via
the overvoltage protection latch, requiring the user to recycle source power to restart the
power supply (see PAR. 3.8). This mode permits automatic recovery from short-term overloads, but eliminates the danger of overheating and damage to the load and load wiring
due to continuous exposure to high current; this is especially useful in redundant power
systems, where the continuous overload current of all of the paralleled power supply modules can be in excess of twice the normal load current. As the circuit is triggered by the
occurrence of an output undervoltage condition, this circuit can also protect circuits which
may be unduly stressed in the presence of an extended undervoltage condition; an example of this are batteries, which can be damaged by discharge voltages below a specified
minimum.
NOTE: When undervoltage lockout mode is enabled, it is necessary to also enable the
Remote Reset function (see PAR. 3.12) in order for the Remote Inhibit function to operate properly.
HSPSERIES OPR 113012

3.10
CURRENT WALK-IN CIRCUIT
HSP power supplies incorporate a specialized output regulator start-up circuit for applications
involving use of the HSP as a battery charger. This circuit, enabled via switch S1-2, overrides
the normal duty-cycle-based soft-start circuit, which could still result in very fast output current
rise rates into a discharged battery, and substitutes a controlled-current rise circuit with a time
constant in accordance with Bellcore TR-TSY-000947 requirements for telecommunications battery rectifiers (see Figure 3-4). The circuit is reset each time that the output regulator is shut
down. This circuit is targeted for battery charger applications, but is ideal for any application
which draws very large currents at power-up, such as high-capacitance loads, where this large
current spike could result in circuit disruptions due to inductive coupling.
FIGURE 3-4.
3.11
CURRENT WALK-IN CHARACTERISTIC
5VAUX FLOATING SUPPLY
HSP power supplies are equipped with an internal auxiliary supply which provides 5V at loads
up to 100mA. It is derived from the internal cooling fan supply and is, therefore, present whenever the source power is within specification and the internal bias supply is operating, regardless of the status of the output regulator. This supply is SELV and is isolated from the output
power lines as well, permitting the user to employ this supply to power circuits which do not
share the same ground return as the output; in fact, this supply provides interface power for the
remote inhibit control signals (see PAR. 3.12). Typical applications include single-circuit control
of several HSP power supplies operating at various potentials and polarities with respect to the
controller. The output is protected against overload, and is diode isolated to permit paralleling
with the auxiliary outputs of other HSP units (regardless of model) for additional load capacity or
redundancy. This output is available at I/O connector pins 26 and 25 (5VAUX and AUXRTN,
respectively).
3-6
HSPSERIES OPR 113012
3.12
REMOTE INHIBIT/REMOTE RESET CONTROLS
HSP power supplies incorporate two TTL-level inputs, RC1 and RC2, accessed via the I/O connector, which can be used to disable the output regulator via external stimulus. These two controls operate from an internal 5V supply (5VAUX) which is isolated from both input and output
(see PAR. 3.11), creating a “floating” inhibit control circuit which allows the user to control several HSP power supplies operating at different return potentials from a single source. The two
control lines differ in that RC1 (pin 8) is normally high, initiating an output inhibit with application
of a low signal level, while RC2 (pin 7) is normally low and requires application of a high level
signal to inhibit the output; both of these signals are applied with respect to AUXRTN (see Figure 3-5), and can be operated at potentials as much as ±500V from the HSP output(s).
These two signal levels are TTL-compatible, both for voltage levels and source/sink capability. If
not actively driven, these signals have no effect on power supply operation. Activation of either
one of these control lines results in an immediate shutdown of the output PWM regulator, including reset of the soft-start, undervoltage, and current walk-in circuits. Operation is inhibited until
the appropriate control line is released, whereupon the power supply output restarts as from initial cold turn-on.
FIGURE 3-5.
REMOTE INHIBIT CONTROL OPERATION
An additional function which can be derived from the remote inhibit control circuitry is the ability
to reset the overvoltage/undervoltage latch circuitry without cycling the source power (Remote
Lockout Reset). When this function is enabled via switch S1-1, the latch can be reset by toggling
one of the inhibit control signals from enable to disable and back. The main advantages of this
remote reset function are the ability to reset the power supply from a remote location and an
instantaneous reset time (compared to the 30-second minimum waiting period imposed when
cycling the source power for reset).
3.13
MODULE CURRENT MONITOR
HSP power supplies provide a 0-5.5V analog signal named IMON, accessed via I/O connector
pin 32, which duplicates the signal level of the load sharing feedback signal (ISHARE) generated by each HSP. This permits the user to determine the load being provided by each module
within a parallel or redundant power system configuration. The IMON signal is current-limited
HSPSERIES OPR 113012
3-7
and isolated from the ISHARE signal, so that it cannot affect the load share function if shorted.
The voltage level of this signal is generated with respect to the negative sense return (pin 19).
3.14
STATUS INDICATORS AND STATUS FLAGS
HSP power supplies provide both visual and electrical indication of the status of various critical
functions including source power status, output status, fan status and overtemperature condition; both visual and signal indicators are provided. Visual indication is provided via the four LED
indicators located on the front panel (see Figure 2-1). Signal indication is obtained via four sets
of Form C dry relay contacts accessed via the I/O connector; all three contacts are provided to
the user, permitting the selection of either normally-open (NO), normally-closed (NC) or both for
any application (refer to Table 2-1). The definition of “normal” in this instance refers to the status
of the contacts when the HSP is powered and operating normally (no fault); status flag outputs
remain valid even when source power is removed. These relay contacts are SELV and are isolated from each other and from the output by 100V d-c to permit flexibility in application. A
description of the function of each status signal follows. Table 3-1 indicates the condition of status flags and indicators for normal, fault, and no power conditions.

POWER INDICATOR/SOURCE POWER STATUS FLAGS
Monitors available source voltage to determine if sufficient energy is available to sustain rated
output for normal operation. These signals indicate a fault condition until the bulk voltage is
greater than 390V d-c. Once the bulk voltage reaches 390V d-c (indicating that the PFC boost
converter is operating and assuring that full ride-through time is available at rated load) these
signals revert to “normal” (see Table 3-1). These signals will indicate a fault a minimum of 5 milliseconds prior to loss of output regulation due to source power loss, providing a transparent
source power ride-through time of 21.5 milliseconds; POWER STATUS is not reset until the bulk
d-c again reaches 390V d-c; see Figure 3-6 for timing relationships.
FIGURE 3-6.
HSPSERIES OPR 113012
TIMING DIAGRAM FOR POWER AND DCFAIL STATUS

3.14.2
DCFAIL INDICATOR AND OUTPUT STATUS FLAGS
The OUTPUT status flags and DCFAIL indicator LED are both controlled by the output fault
detector circuit, which monitors both output voltage and module current to assess d-c output
status. An output fault condition (DCFAIL indicator “ON”) is generated if one of three fault conditions is detected: (1) Overvoltage fault or (2) Undervoltage Fault - output voltage is outside
specified regulation limits, or (3) Undercurrent fault - the power supply module is supplying less
than 70% of the current required by the circuit (as indicated by the load sharing signal) while the
output voltage is within specification limits.
A fault condition is not generated for a combination of overvoltage and undercurrent indications,
as these are mutually exclusive conditions for power supplies which are not part of a parallelredundant configuration; this combination does, however, indicate proper operation for operational power supply modules which are part of a parallel-redundant power scheme in which one
or more power supply modules are presenting overvoltage failures.
Table 3-2 provides an operating matrix of the DCFAIL status function; see Figure 3-6 for timing
relationships. The output voltage fault limits are ±5% of programmed output voltage, while the
undercurrent fault limit is <70% of required module current; signal reset requires output voltage
recovery to within the specified ±1% regulation range and/or module current recovery to >85%
of required module current, respectively.

OVERTEMP INDICATOR AND STATUS FLAGS
This fault is generated in the event that either the input or output module heatsink temperature
rises above a safe operating level; output regulator shutdown occurs simultaneously. Recovery
occurs automatically upon reduction of internal temperatures to normal levels.
3.14.4
FANFAIL INDICATOR AND STATUS FLAGS
This fault is generated in the event of a failure of the internal cooling fan; a delay of approximately 5 seconds is incorporated to prevent nuisance indications at turn-on. Reset occurs when
fan operation resumes.
3.15
FRONT PANEL METER (M OPTION) OPERATION
HSP series power supplies are available with a meter option (‘M' suffix) which incorporates a 3½
digit LED meter display on the front panel. The meter provides both voltmeter and ammeter
functions. The V-A rocker switch directly below the meter (Figure 3-7) selects either output voltage (V) or module current (A) as the normally-displayed parameter. The associated LED, either
V or A, lights to show the selected switch position. When depressed, the ACTUAL/SETPOINTS
momentary-contact switch located below the V-A selector switch causes the meter to display
the programmed value of output voltage or current limit, as selected by the V-A switch. The
3-10
HSPSERIES OPR 113012
operation of the fault detector remains unaffected by the inclusion of the meter option. The following paragraphs describe the meter functions in detail.
3.15.1
VOLTMETER OPERATION
With the V-A selector switch set to ‘V' position (green V indicator illuminated), the meter normally displays the actual output voltage present at the error sense terminals. If the ACTUAL/
SETPOINTS switch is depressed with the V-A selector switch set to V, the display shows the
programmed output voltage (±1%) of that module, regardless of the actual output status at the
time (refer to VSET, PAR. 3.7); unlike VSET, however, both actual and setpoint voltages are displayed in volts. If desired, the programmed setpoint can be adjusted using the previously
selected output voltage programming method (PAR. 3.3). Releasing the ACTUAL/SETPOINTS
switch causes the meter to resume displaying actual output voltage.
3.15.2
AMMETER OPERATION
With the V-A selector switch set to ‘A' position (amber A indicator illuminated), the meter normally displays the actual output current (within ±12%) presently being supplied by the module. If
the ACTUAL/SETPOINTS switch is depressed with the V-A selector switch set to I, the display
shows the programmed current limit (±1%) of that module, regardless of the actual current being
supplied at the time (ref. ISET, PAR. 3.7); unlike ISET and ISHARE, however, both actual current and setpoint current limit are displayed in amperes. If desired, the programmed setpoint for
current limit can be adjusted using the previously selected current limit programming method
(PAR. 3.5). Releasing the ACTUAL/SETPOINTS switch causes the meter to resume displaying
actual module output current.
NOTE: Ammeter accuracy of ±12% applies for load currents between 25 and 100% of rated
output current (e.g., between 50 and 200 Amperes for HSP 5-200). For load currents
less than 25%, ammeter accuracy degrades significantly.
3.15.3
PARALLEL/REDUNDANT OPERATION
The display function is fully operational when HSP is used either singly, as a stand-alone power
supply, or in multiples, as part of a parallel/redundant or series load arrangement. When used as
part of a parallel/redundant power system, however, the following points should be noted.
When the meters are functioning as voltmeters:
•
The actual voltage displayed by each power supply module represents the output bus
voltage, and not the individual voltage supplied by each module.
•
The setpoint function, however, does display the individual setting for the specific power
supply module being measured, thus allowing on-line calibration of all of the power supply modules in the system.
When the meters are functioning as ammeters,
•
The actual current displayed by each power supply module represents actual module
output current regardless of output configuration.
•
The setpoint function for current limit displays the individual setting for the specific power
supply module being measured,
HSPSERIES OPR 113012
3-11
3.16
BATTERY (B OPTION) OPERATION
The Battery Charger Option (B suffix) adds a second switch-selectable voltage network to the
front panel. This permits the user to preset two different voltage regulation values corresponding
to “float” and “equalize” functions for battery charging applications. This option is available for
1000W HSP models covering 12V, 24V and 48V, and 1500W models covering 24V and 48V
nominal battery voltages.
When the Float-Equalize switch is set to FL (see Figure 3-7), the Float potentiometer adjusts the
output voltage; when set to EQ, the Equalize potentiometer adjusts the output voltage. The FLEQ position also determines which voltage is available at test point Vo. CAUTION: Adjusting the
non-selected potentiometer (e.g., FL potentiometer with switch set to EQ) can have adverse
effects, because an unknown output voltage will be applied to the load when the switch position
is changed. The fault detector window is altered to accommodate the normal range of battery
voltage from fully discharged to peak equalize charge as shown in Table 3-3.:
